Origin Paradise!

"He deserted."

Ah Er slammed the boy's corpse to the ground and then stomped on it repeatedly until it was crushed.

"None of you here can ever repay the kindness shown to the Master. Please don't blame me for being too ruthless in doing some evil deeds."

The First Regiment Commander's face was grim. There had been deserters in his ranks. If the Division Commander found out, where would he put his face?

"Loyalty!" the evil soldier shouted, and the command post was instantly filled with righteous indignation. Most of the human soldiers had been assimilated by the environment and now looked at the rotting corpse with disgust. They dared not run away. What made this guy think he was unique? His death was his own fault.

"This is insane! These guys are all psychopaths!"

"That division commander is definitely not a good person."

"Damn it, how am I supposed to survive to the end of this mission?"

The four players were exchanging messages intensely in the message bar.

"Commander Er, I will take full responsibility for this matter. Please do not trouble the division commander." The First Regiment Commander stood up straight and saluted. Er also served as the deputy division commander and was a favorite of the division commander. There were many people in the Dawn Army who were jealous of him, but they would not cause trouble because of this.

"Hmph, causing trouble for the division commander? If you dare, I'll kill you. Just guard your position properly; you know better than I do the importance of this place." Ah Er snorted coldly and turned to leave. Although he was obsequious in front of the division commander, he was known for his brutality.

"A bunch of opportunists." The First Regiment Commander muttered to himself, glanced around, and said coldly, "What are you all looking at? Prepare for battle!"

"Understood!" everyone shouted.

……

The heartland plains, the very front of the battle line.

Boom!

A shell landed not far from the 7th Regiment's command post. The shockwave made the wooden stakes creak and groan, and dust fell. A tall figure walked across the trench and entered the command post, followed by a little girl who seemed to follow him like a shadow.

"How is the situation?" Jiang He found a chair and sat down, casually brushing the dust off his shoulders.

"Reporting to the division commander, our troops encountered resistance after annihilating the enemy's vanguard. The enemy has a large number of troops, and the First Battalion has been completely wiped out. However, the enemy's overall offensive is neither too fast nor too slow," the Seventh Regiment Commander reported truthfully.

Jiang He nodded. The opposing force consisted of a full army of 50,000 men, which was probably the entire field force of the flank battlefield. However, judging from the map markings, there were not many artillery pieces, and they were still decreasing. According to the information from the Supreme Command, the main battlefield in the Southern Theater Command had already started, and these artillery pieces were likely sent to support the front.

This change raises two questions: first, how can the enemy ensure that their artillery can be deployed in a timely manner? Second, if they don't even need artillery and their offensive is ordinary, why do they act as if they have the upper hand over our troops?

The 1st Armored Division is fully equipped with automatic rifles, making it a true elite main force division. It also boasts the formidable firepower of 400 artillery pieces. With 20,000 men against 50,000, the disparity is hardly significant, and the probability of victory is quite high.

“The enemy’s main force is coming; we can’t delay any longer,” Jiang He said. “Bring all artillery over and fire a full blast from one kilometer forward. Your 7th, 8th, and 9th Regiments will charge with me. Deploy all mechs and armored vehicles. The 10th and 11th Regiments will flank and cut off the enemy from both sides of the battlefield. The 12th Regiment will serve as the reserve. The charge will begin half an hour after the order is given.”

"Understood!" The commander of the 7th Regiment did not hesitate. Such a frontal charge was destined to result in heavy losses. Nearly five thousand men from the 7th, 8th, and 9th Regiments might be wiped out. But the division commander's orders were absolute.

Jiang He took out the temporary map to check. Everything was normal at Kouying. Dawn AI reported that one player had died. Ordinary Bronze Peak players were not difficult to deal with in front of A'er now, but if it were the Western powers, A'er would have to run away.

Chapter 249 War

May 17, 2:55 pm.

The main offensive on the flank is entering its final countdown.

A force with the firepower of four artillery regiments has been deployed to the plains in the heart of the region, and all eighty mechs of the mech regiment are in position.

In the front-line trenches, Jiang He examined the satellite map in his hand. Only battalion-level units were marked on it. The opposite side was filled with dense red dots, but the overall distribution was regular. A large number of seemingly meaningless battalions were deployed around the plains and marshes.

Even if a plain or marshland is not the enemy's headquarters, breaching it can greatly disrupt and disrupt their formation.

"Orochi, I am ready."

In front of the earthen wall of the trench, Zhuang Ya somehow obtained a steel helmet and an automatic rifle. She was still wearing the combat maid outfit prop and even held the command flag of the First Division in her hand. Judging from her identity, she was the fourth young lady of Yuwang City. Neither the Dawn People nor the Evil Fiend Soldiers could stop her "robbery".

"You want to charge in too?" Jiang He had a bit of a headache.

“Bullets can’t penetrate it.” Zhuang Ya stretched out her small hand and rolled up her sleeves, revealing countless fine snake scales on her fair skin. As a snake demon with three hundred years of cultivation, her body surface defense was quite outstanding after two evolutions.

"alright."

Jiang He removed the Dawn pendant and temporarily attached it to the other party. When necessary, Dawn Intelligence can cover the nano-armor based on friend or foe identification. It is estimated that it is not strong enough to resist artillery shells, but it can effectively weaken the kinetic energy of the bullets.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon.

Oh oh oh!

A dozen messengers sounded the bugle together.

The loud and solemn bugle call resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

Four thousand five hundred soldiers from the 7th, 8th and 9th Regiments rushed out of the trenches at the same time, while the 10th and 11th Regiments rushed to the flanks of the battlefield to prevent the enemy from encircling them.

Boom!

It was like four artillery regiments firing at once, with thousands upon thousands of shells rising into the air and covering the battlefield ahead.

The dense barrage of bullets rained down like hail, quickly destroying the vampire forces' carefully constructed surface defense system and barbed wire. Forward trenches, fortresses, and reinforced villages were riddled with holes under the fierce artillery fire, and the billowing smoke obscured the firing lines of various firing points, effectively suppressing the enemy.

A shell landed on the opposite bank, and the raging shockwave gave the pebbles and wood chips bullet-like power, instantly killing a large number of people.

The vampire lord crawled out from among the corpses of his guards, picked up his binoculars with a look of fear, and saw that the friendly positions on the left and right were covered in smoke, while the artillery positions behind him were "silent." Due to the lack of visibility, the chains of fire that were shooting out from the machine gun positions were completely disordered.

Boom!

The sound of intense, overlapping artillery fire echoed in my ears.

The vampire lord strained to see ahead through the gaps in the smoke. His binoculars were filled with countless figures. Hundreds of armored vehicles advanced in a dispersed manner, and the shell craters formed natural sunken bunkers. As the infantry maneuvered, the enemy's shouts of battle grew ever closer.

The vampire lord had already guessed the enemy's deployment. Under normal circumstances, even a regular army would not be able to carry out this level of firepower. The enemy not only had a sufficient number of artillery pieces, but was also exceptionally willing to use them, launching a full-scale attack.

Under full load of fire, the artillery works non-stop, even if the barrels are red-hot and parts are worn out. The consumption of shells is secondary; the casualties caused by scrapped artillery and barrel explosions are the main problems. Regardless of victory or defeat, it means huge losses.

Bang!

The vampire lord stiffly turned his head, and the already dilapidated roof of the command post completely collapsed. A little girl wielding a giant sword jumped in and beheaded him with a single slash that was accompanied by a gale. Her sword move was like the tail of a giant snake. Then, without stopping, she quickly advanced along the trenches and continued to attack other defensive nodes.

3:12 p.m.

The vampire army's first line of defense has been breached.

Baron Carne, the vampire commander, ordered a full-scale counterattack. Two main divisions launched a frontal counter-charge, eight hundred trolls joined the battle, and five thousand werewolf cavalry outflanked the enemy from the direction of the camp.

On the battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder.

After breaking through the first line of defense, the man walked as if taking a stroll, his movements small but actually quite swift. Seeing his effortless figure, many human soldiers seemed to feel victory was assured and followed their fierce squad leader in a desperate charge.

Twenty-five defensive mechs, each holding a half-meter-thick alloy shield, advanced in an orderly fashion. Soldiers of the 7th Regiment used the mechs as cover and fired their guns, continuously killing the vampire troops attacking from the opposite side.

The troll and the warrior-type mech clashed at high speed, their heavy hammers and greatswords slashing at each other, sparking dazzling fireworks. Both were over three meters tall, like two small giants locked in fierce combat.

Both sides unleashed a barrage of firepower, destroying armored vehicles and rendering artillery useless.

Jiang He raised his hand, and a corrosive fireball shot out. The eerie green flames struck a troll, and the powerful corrosive force completely annihilated it, at the cost of only three energy points.

Rumble!

With the tidal wave of attacks, the five lines of defense set up by the vampires collapsed. But a quarter of an hour later, the enemy had completed its deployment, and a full eight hundred main battle tanks rushed onto the battlefield. In terms of heavy industry, even the combined forces of the second and ninth fortresses might not be a match for those outside the pass.

A steel torrent swept in, with tens of thousands of infantrymen launching an attack supported by tanks, and fierce artillery fire shattering the reserve division's offensive.

"Commander, the 7th Regiment has been wiped out, and the regimental commander has been killed in action!"

"Commander, the Kouying position is under attack by 10,000 infantry and cavalry. The First Regiment Commander requests reinforcements."

"Commander, the Eighth Regiment has suffered more than half its casualties."

Several Dawnbringers, their bodies charred black, stumbled in to report that the 7th Regiment had been completely wiped out, with Dawnbringers, Evil Spirits, and human soldiers all lost. At the same time, the flank of the camp was under heavy attack. The vampire forces were clearly superior to the human forces of equal numbers, and the number of trolls and tanks far exceeded that of mechs. The wild beasts were a significant hindrance to human development.

"Hold the line, bring in the reserves and the 3rd, 4th and 12th Regiments of the general reserve. The 7th Regiment will hold the line until the last man is left." Jiang He said without any heartache. The Evil Demons suffered heavy losses, and he was also reluctant to accept this result, but production is for use, and there is no room for stinginess at this time.

"Understood." The Dawn members turned and left.

After two hours of fierce fighting, all units suffered heavy losses.

The vampire forces were the same; the demon soldiers went berserk, attacking the tank tracks with explosive charges, causing a lot of trouble.

Advisor Gu arrived with three regiments, and the army charged again, now less than three kilometers from the plains and marshes.

Jiang He simply stretched out his blood wings and rose into the sky. This was the first time he had ever been in the sky in this world. The extremely turbulent winds made it more difficult to maintain flight. If it were a relatively cumbersome aircraft, it would likely have been overturned and crashed.

From a high vantage point, it was clear that due to two consecutive charges by our side into the plains and marshes, the enemy's 50,000 troops, under the command of the headquarters, had clearly concentrated and were no longer as dispersed as before the battle. While protecting the headquarters, they also increased their superior firepower to counter the charges.

Jiang He's gaze swept across the battlefield. The 10th and 11th Regiments, which were attacking the enemy's flanks, had already captured key points on both flanks. Because they had paid a heavy price for their frontal assault, the enemy was not paying much attention to the flanks.

While he was conserving his strength, the battle situation was extremely unfavorable for his side. However, the trap had already been set up, and the enemy had unknowingly slipped in. As long as the enemy army was defeated, capturing prisoners would be very easy, and the gains would not be meager.

Chapter 250 Army Expansion

Boom boom boom!

At one point, everyone on the tense battlefield looked up.

A resounding boom echoed as thousands of eerie green fireballs rained down from the sky like a meteor shower.

With an all-seeing eye that can see everything within a radius of three thousand meters, the bombardment aimed from high above, using a ghostly green fireball mixed with perfect-grade corrosion as ammunition. This bombardment depleted most of the person's health, and the corresponding effect was exceptionally significant.

The troll's massive body turned into putrid liquid, and the tank's steel structure melted away like ice and snow.

While the bombing did not cause devastating damage to the entire battlefield, it severely damaged morale.

"Natural disasters and man-made calamities."

Consultant Gu grinned meaningfully, and someone truly demonstrated the power of a dominant superhuman.

Hundreds of fireballs were concentrated and bombarded the plains and swamps. The vampire army did not have any fearless and vicious soldiers, and the vanguard had already begun to retreat in large numbers.

Advisor Gu seized the opportunity and personally led three regiments to attack. The retreat of the vampire forces turned into a rout. The 10th and 11th regiments held the left and right sides of the battlefield, cooperating with the main force to continuously tighten the encirclement.

Plains and swamps.

Baron Kahn watched the rout at the front and slowly lowered his binoculars. In the command's tactics, the tank clusters and trolls were the most important nodes for infantry attacks. This was a choice made out of necessity, since the enemy infantry were really reckless when they charged.

At this moment, having lost all offensive points, defeat is inevitable, and the outcome is already decided.

A dozen or so vampire officers huddled together around them, keeping their heads down.

Baron Kahn smiled and said, "You can go your separate ways. I'll be dead anyway if I go back, so let's just leave it at that."

Everyone remained silent. If Viscount Malkawi were still alive, the Baron might have had a chance to redeem himself through meritorious service. However, since taking charge of affairs, Viscount Malkawi had become exceptionally sensitive to power, and there was absolutely no way he could escape the sin of losing the flank battlefield.

May 17, 6:22 pm.

Baron Kahn, the vampire commander, committed suicide. The various units of the Third Army of the Xidu East Army announced their surrender. The First Division and the Reserve Division swept across the battlefield and took advantage of the situation to capture the large settlement of Dong'an. The three thousand troops stationed in the Hezhuang settlement announced their surrender.

At 7:10 p.m., the 10,000 infantry and cavalry who attacked Kouying retreated to their assembly point and held their ground, thus winning the battle of attrition.

June 12, 18:0.

The division headquarters moved forward to the main road of Kouyingshan, and all units began a full-scale sweep.

……

Kouyingshan Main Road.

In the newly established command post, the commander of the 12th Regiment was holding a statistical table and reporting the results of the war to someone.

"In this battle, our army suffered 7055 casualties. The 7th, 8th and 9th Regiments were nearly wiped out. The 1st Regiment held its position and fought to the last company, suffering 1345 casualties. In addition, 47 mechs, 98 armored vehicles and 124 artillery pieces were destroyed."

"At the end of the war, a total of 203 intact tanks, 120 tons of firearms and ammunition were captured, more than 14000 enemy soldiers were killed or wounded, and more than 27000 were captured. Advisor Gu is currently executing the remnants of the darkness."

"Reporting to the commander, report complete."

Inside the command post, upon hearing the casualty figures, Jiang He raised an eyebrow. Although he was mentally prepared for this, the actual results still surprised him slightly.

Most of the casualties on both sides occurred during the intense fighting phase. In wars fought with modern weapons, the gap in individual soldier quality was reduced. However, if the fighting were fought with ancient weapons, the impact of the fierce morale of the soldiers would be significantly greater.

Jiang He pondered for a moment and said, "Incorporate all the prisoners and organize them into the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Divisions, as well as the Reserve Division."

The 12th Regiment Commander hesitated: "Commander, the vacancy issue..."

"You don't need to worry about that."

"clear."

The 12th Regiment Commander turned and walked out of the command post.

Jiang He glanced at his animal companion ability; it was already fully charged for three teleportations, allowing him to teleport to his animal companion at any time.

The next second, a blood-red gunshot stung the ground, and Jiang He's figure disappeared from the command post.

……

Meanwhile, in the industrial park inside the city.
